hurricane, 6min,. Cuba Directed by Héctor Almeida An inner hurricane summons errant images and drifting fragments of time, dragging them toward a threshold that resists form. A voice, part invocation, part echo, emerges from within the storm. Between the lived and the imagined, memory disintegrates and reconfigures, not to be understood, but to be felt. This is a ritual of passage: where chaos becomes a kind of language, where what is lost is not retrieved, but transformed, and what dies, opens.

In a silent environment, artificial intelligence meets the boundless human mind and together they unite their powers to create a music and dance piece of scientific fantasy. The lyrics, composed by a robotic mind simulating the writing style of the great author William Shakespeare, draw upon a poem about Silence and how people perceive it today. The music was composed by a team of music producers, while the words are voiced by the unique, yet artificial, voice of the late English actor, Alan Rickman. Our protagonist performs theatrical dance movements, which constitute his unique way of communication. At times, he manages to harmonize with the space-time and feel tranquility within the silence, while at other times, he faces challenges. Will he, however, emerge unscathed from this enthralling blend of the artificial and the human?

Pablo Fajardo, the renowned environmental lawyer who managed to bring down the North American transnational Chevron (formerly Texaco), shows us his world of commitment for the rights of an Amazonian population affected by oil activities. Together with the activist Donald Moncayo and the Union of People Affected by Texaco, the discourse in defense of the environment extends and structures a series of events and testimonies with a clear purpose: to make visible the struggle and injustice that has been going on in that region of Ecuador for more than fifty years, for the humble attempt to cross borders and raise awareness among the public of all ages of the fragility, duality and privilege promoted by the dominant energy system in the world.
Director Statement Focused on climate justice as a legitimate way to be sincere with myself and the planet. One day is not enough to make people believe that another world is possible and the message is able to go beyond borders.
